CALL FOR CONTRIBUTION: ICTAC 2004
FIRST INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF COMPUTING
Guiyang, China 20-24 September 2004
http://www.iist.unu.edu/ICTAC2004
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The International Institute for Software Technology of the United Nations
University (UNU-IIST) decides to found an International Colloquium on
Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC). The aim is bring together
practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to
present research results, and to exchange experience, ideas, and solutions
for their problems in theoretical aspects of computing, to help the
developing countries to strengthen their research, teaching and development
in computer science and engineering, to improve the links between
developing countries and developed countries, and to establish
collaboration in research and education in computing science and
engineering and in system design and development. It will help to initiate
new topics for research and to encourage people in doing basic research as
well as system developments. The technical program includes two-day
tutorials and a three-day workshop. The colloquium will have a theme and
focus each year and be held in a developing country jointly with a UNU-IIST
training school. Therefore, there will a guaranteed audience. A small
registration fee will be charged to cover meals tutorial handouts and
proceedings only. There will be also a limited amount of grant that
participants, tutorial and workshop speakers from developing countries can
apply. Application should be submitted together with their tutorial
proposals or papers to the workshop. The first ICTAC will be jointly
organized by the Academy of Science of Guizhou Province of China and
UNU-IIST during 20 -24 September 2004, in conjunction with the
International Training School on Computer Software Technology that will be
free for participants from developing countries.
SCOPE AND TOPICS
ICTAC 2004 calls for tutorials in the areas of theoretical
aspects of computing
including automata, languages, software engineering and formal and solicits
research papers for the
workshop related to, but not limited to, the following principal topics:
* automata theory and formal languages
* principle and semantics of programming languages
* logics and their applications
* software architectures and their description languages
* software specification, refinement and verification
* models of object and component system
* coordination and feature interaction
* integration of formal and engineering methods
* service-oriented development
* document-driven development
* models of concurrency, security and mobility
* theory of parallel, distributed and internet-based (Grid) computing
* real-time and embedded systems
* Type and category theory in computer science
SUBMISSIONS OF TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Proposals should be approximately five pages and must include the following
information:
* contents including abstract and syllabus/contents
* duration of the tutorial (2 hours ?6 hours)
* intended audience including prerequisites
* biography of presenter
* any special requirements (e.g., software/hardware for tool demo,
software/hardware requirements for participants)
Please send proposals (in postscript or PDF format) via email directly to
the Program Chair Zhiming Liu at [log in to unmask]
SUBMISSIONS TO THE WORKSHOP
Submissions to the workshop must not have been published or be concurrently
considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the
basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation
quality, and relevance to the workshop. The ICTAC 2004 Program Committee
selects original technical papers for publication in the proceedings of the
workshop and envisages to publish the proceedings after the workshop by
Springer in its Lecturer Notes in Computer Science series. Papers should be
written in English and not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format: see.

for details. Further
information and instructions about submissions can be found on the
colloquium website http://www.iist.unu.edu/ICTAC04.
Authors are strongly
encouraged to use this website to submit their papers in electronic form.
